1、 'Jia Pai' was a specific term in the Ming Dynasty. Although the imperial court had already begun to increase land taxes during the Jiajing period, this increase lasted for a short period of time and was cancelled after the crisis passed.
2、 The annual agricultural tax of the Ming Dynasty, calculated based on rice and wheat, was about 30 million koku, which later converted into silver and was about 20 million taels.
3、 In the early Ming Dynasty, one or two silver coins could be equivalent to three to four stones of rice. In the late Ming Dynasty, one or two silver coins could be equivalent to 0.8 to one stone of rice.
4、 Due to the rise of the Jurchen people outside the Great Wall, the court needs to continuously increase troops to assist the Liaodong region and strengthen the border defense forces of Jizhou Town and Liaodong Town. Jizhou, Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong were the first four towns of the Ming Dynasty's "Nine Border Towns".
5、 Xiong Tingbi once calculated that recruiting a soldier requires eighteen taels of silver per year. In fact, there are more than that, because some soldiers will run away. After running away, they will go to other places to recruit and have to be given another amount of money. As a result, the government's usual financial operations are far from enough.
